Mine won't eat the same thing two days running. (Not just the second half of a can that's been in the fridge, but even a fresh can of the same flavor.) I get Boyfie pouches. They come in 12 pouch boxes, 4 different flavours in a box so he can have a different one at each meal. Several different box options with 4 other flavours in, also in gravy, or in jelly. So lots of variety, he never gets bored "oh, not this old thing again.." Not that I think he would. I rarely get cans but if I do he doesn't mind too much eating it twice even if it's been in the fridge, although he prefers the pouches. |

Twice in one week. well, crap! you keep changing things, and you'll keep getting the same reaction! Cats don't like changes, especially in their food. I think once you have found a brand that they like that suits their digestion and comes in various flavours you should stick to it. Several times I've bought Boyfie premium quality food pouches for a treat. Really expensive stuff. He was horrified. "What kind of muck is this?" he enquired. He refused to eat it. So I don't bother with treaty-pouches now. He's a bit of a stick-in-the-mud really. He likes a routine in his daily life and food he is used to. Because I love him, I would like to treat him to something nice now and again. Posh food, he says no. Catnip has a limited effect. Toys, boxes, things to play with? Withering glance. He seems absolutely happy with what he has already. Nice food, the chance to go out and hunt small ratties if he wants to, his own bedroom with duvet and a meowmie he adores and she adores him too. Maybe that's enough. |

My three cats have healthy appetites who eat a large can of food each day, along with all the dry they can eat. They also enjoy walks, where they sometimes catch a snack or two. They walk with me when I go outside, but otherwise would be content to be couch potatoes, or tear through the house like wild cats and destroy the old sofa, no big deal there. I was worried the previous kind of food had too much soy and not enough nutrition. The new kind has chunks of meat & gravy. -- Islam is the rabies of religion |

Fanatics of any stripe are dangerous. I don't care whether their "cause" is race, religion, nationality or sexual preference. Of course most Muslims are good people. We all need to think about how and where they are radicalised and stamp it out somehow. All the British Muslims I know are horrified and say "these acts are not carried out in our name" Most realise that, but because of the actions of fanatics, Muslims are often regarded with suspicion now. How these fanatics think what they do will help their cause I have no clue about, quite the reverse I would have thought. |

I was worried the previous kind of food had too much soy and not enough nutrition. The new kind has chunks of meat & gravy. -- Hmm, what kind of cat food has soy in it? Let's know it's name so we can avoid it. Cats are obligate carnivores, they *need* meat as the main constituent of their diet. If they don't like the new food with meat, I wouldn't give them anything else so they have no choice. It's in their best interest to eat meaty food and I can assure you that they won't starve themselves by refusing it for long, providing you remain firm. Like you eat this or go without, and they may well be stubborn and go without to force you to do what they want, but do not give in to this blackmail. Providing there is nothing wrong with their health a stubborn cat saying "I only like this or that, and I have to have it" doesn't work in my house. I provide a good meaty food and if my cat says "no, I'd prefer chicken", bad luck that boy ;-) I take it away to let him get hungrier. We don't do fussy about food here. |
